RE: [mylar-dev] Developing Mylar on Eclipse

["Naveed Jauhar" <njauhar@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks again Eugene for your timely help. 

I have followed the directions in the instructions page.

1) I created a new workspace and imported the mylar source.

2) I Ran the source as an Eclipse Application. This started a new 3.2 work bench and gave me about 21,000 errors before it ran out of memory and crashed. 

3) It seems like I am missing some packages because all the visible errors seem to be of type "X cannot be resolved". Do I have to manually add packages. I would think the source always comes preconfigured with all the necessary packages. Any advice? Perhaps I need to edit the compiler settings? 

4) Also, Is this the correct path to follow? If the compilation goes thought correctly, will I be able to see the Mylar changes I have made in the new workbench?

Thanks again for all your timely help.

Warm Regards,
Naveed

Thanks Eugene. I am following the instrucitons for the build process right now. The instructions seem to be self contained. I will keep you guys posted. 

Also, I made a small error earlier. I infact checked out from the e_3_2 branch and wrote that I check out from the CVS HEAD. 

Thank You for your timely support.

Warm Regards,
Naveed

  First of all CVS HEAD requires Eclipse 3.3M6

  You can checkout from e_3_2 branch if you need version for Eclipse 
3.2. The wiki page has separate project set for that branch.
 
  See "Self hosting" section for instruction how to run/debug Mylar from 
within Eclipse. The key point is that you should use "Eclipse 
Application" as a launch configuration type. 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference#Self-hosting

   See Build Section on the same wiki page with the instructions how to 
build the distribution. 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Contributor_Reference#Building_a_distribution

  regards,
  Eugene
